Thisslurry is filtered and conductance of the filtrate is measured.The conductivity, which is related to the concentration ofsolu
9、ble ionic materials contaminating the abrasive, is calcu-lated from the conductance and the cell constant.4. Significance and Use4.1 Abrasive media may contain ionic contamination natu-rally (for example, beach sand), from manufacturing (quench-ing with contaminated water), transportation, storage o
10、r use (inthe case of abrasive that is reused). Ionic contamination on theabrasive may transfer to the surface during abrasive blastcleaning, resulting in potential osmotic blistering, acceleratedunderfilm corrosion and premature coating failure.4.2 This test method describes a shop/field procedure f

16、pe 1,Class C, to keep silt from fouling the surfaces of the conduc-tivity cell.NOTE 1ISO 11127-6 is another method for assessing the level ofsoluble salt contamination present in an abrasive. It differs from this testmethod in two major areas:(1) The ISO method uses a weight to volume ratio between
17、the abrasiveand the fluid (deionized water) used to extract soluble salts from theabrasive. The ASTM method allows a user to measure a loose packedvolume of abrasive and mix that abrasive with an equal volume of reagentwater. The ISO method is well suited to use in a laboratory setting but ispoorly
18、suited to use in the field. The ASTM method is well suited for usein the field or laboratory.(2) The ISO method reports the effect of the level of extracted salts interms of milliSiemens/m, whereas this test method uses mho/cm. TheISO method uses strict SI units, this test method reports using SIcom
19、pliant units.Method to Method Comparison:The reader is warned that it is difficult to make direct comparisonsbetween the results of these two different methods of analysis.Weight/Volume versus Volume/Volume Method Considerations:In the ASTM Method the weight of the abrasive is not known; thismakes i
20、t impossible to assess the ratio between conductivity valuesdetermined using this test method procedure and those determined usingthe ISO 11127-6 procedure.Comparisons Between Reported Units for Each Method:An independent study by SSPC showed that the relative order ofextracted salts using each type
21、 of procedure on abrasive materials wasidentical. The ranked order correlation between the two methods wasunity. There was no direct correlation possible between numerical resultsobtained and reported by the two different methods. Abrasives thatshowed qualifying extracted salts using the ISO Procedu
22、re also showedqualifying extracted salt levels as specified in SSPC-AB 1.Converting from ISO Reported Units to ASTM Reported Units:Converting from one unit base to another is not useful as the twomethods differ in process. The conversion factor from mho/cm tomilliSiemens/m is as follows:A Micro Mho
23、Per Centimeter1mhocm1=(1106) 1cm1A MilliSiemen Per Meter1 (MilliSiemen)(m1)=(1103) 1(1102)cm1Thus one milliSiemen/m = ten mho/cm.6.

Sampling7.1 Sampling shall be as follows unless otherwise agreedupon between the purchaser
26、 and the seller. Take two 1-Lsamples of abrasive at random from different packages of eachlot, batch, days pack, or other unit of production in theshipment. When no markings distinguishing between units ofproduction appear, take samples from the different packages inthe ratio of two samples for each
27、 5000 kg, except that forshipments of less than 5000 kg, take two samples. Test thesamples separately.8. Calibration and Standardization8.1 Determination of Cell Constant:8.1.1 The conductivity cell will come with a predeterminedconstant. This constant should be checked periodically, onemethod being
28、 as follows:8.1.1.1 Prepare a standard solution such as a 0.0005 Nsolution of KCl by diluting a 0.02 N KCl solution with wateror by dissolving 0.0372 g of KCl (weighed after heating for 1h at 105C) in water, followed by dilution to 1 L. Cool andmeasure the conductance at 25C as described in Section
29、9.Calculate the cell constant, K25, as follows:K255 Cs/Cm! (1)where:Cm= conductance, measured at 25C (see 10.1), mho, andCs= conductivity, 72 mho/cm (from Table 1).NOTE 2In general the cell constant is not greatly affected byvariations in the strength of the KCl solution, but, for greater accuracy,m
30、easurements should be made at or near the specific conductivity of thesolution to be measured and at values that use the middle range of thescale of the conductivity bridge, using the same multiplier tap.8.1.2 Table 1 gives values of specific conductivities forcorresponding KCl solution concentratio

Procedure9.1 Preparation of a Slurry Filtrate:9.1.1 Rinse beakers, stirring rods, and funnels with reagentwater until tests show the rinse water has a conductivity of 5.0mho/cm or less.9.1.2 Add 300 mL of water to 300 mL of abrasive and stirfor 1 min with a
32、 stirring rod. Let stand for 8 min and then stiragain for 1 min.9.1.3 Filter sufficient supernatant liquid for tests, discardingthe first 10 mL of the filtrate. The amount of supernatant liquidfiltered shall be sufficient to cover the cell.9.1.4 Rinse the conductivity cell in reagent water until the

Precision and Bias612.1 PrecisionOn the basis of five replicate interlab
38、ora-tory tests of this test method in which three operators in threelaboratories analyzed, in duplicate, six blast cleaning abrasivescontaining ionic contamination, the within-laboratory coeffi-cient of variation (after rejecting results from one set ofreplicate tests as outliers), was found to be 1
39、.7 % with 20degrees of freedom (df) and the between-laboratory standarddeviation coefficient of variation was found to be 7.4 % with 15df. Based on these coefficients, the following criteria should beused for judging the acceptability of results at the 95 %confidence level:12.1.1 RepeatabilityTwo re
40、sults, each the mean of tworuns obtained by the same operator should be consideredsuspect if they differ by more than 5 % relative.12.1.2 ReproducibilityTwo results, each the mean of tworuns, obtained by operators in different laboratories should beconsidered suspect if they differ by more than 22 %
41、 relative.12.2 Bias:12.2.1 Bias can be present because of the mobility ofvarious ions. The hydrogen ion has a much greater mobilitythan the hydroxyl ion or other ions so that at low pHs theconductivity will be relatively higher than at high pHs for thesame ionic concentration. However, the bias intr
42、oduced by thisfactor is in the proper direction. That is, high conductivity dueto a lower pH of the contamination would normally indicategreater corrosion potential.12.2.2 A bias may be introduced by extraneous contamina-tion or from reduced sensitivity of instruments for low levels ofcontamination
